WABC/NYC Launches ‘Curtis and Juliet’
• Cumulus News-Talk 77 WABC/New York City announced the launch of Curtis and Juliet, featuring longtime WABC personality Curtis Sliwa and veteran media personality Juliet Huddy. Curtis and Juliet airs weekdays from noon-3pm ET.
Sliwa is a Brooklyn native known by millions as the founder and leader of The Guardian Angels. Sliwa is also a 25-year talk radio vet, 23 of those years spent at WABC. He was named to the New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2013. Huddy’s broadcasting career began as a reporter in local television and radio in Santa Barbara, CA and Jacksonville, FL. In 1998, Huddy joined the fledgling Fox News Channel as a national correspondent. She later moved to the Fox News Channel HQ in New York City, where she hosted Fox & Friends, DaySide and her own nationally syndicated talk show, The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. Huddy left Fox in September of 2016 to launch a music website, BlondeAndCrossbones.com, covering hard rock and heavy metal — a passion she hopes to explore in her new talk radio career.
Craig Schwalb, PD of WABC said, “Curtis and Juliet are each widely recognized and respected New York hosts. But, what’s really exciting is to hear how their chemistry and friendship sets their show apart in the market.” Sliwa commented, “I worked with Juliet Huddy for four years on Good Day Early Call NY. We were like a brother and sister arguing and discussing the issues of the day. They were not just political. We delved into cultural, social and personal issues, especially male/female issues that most people are interested in. WABC is giving us that opportunity to talk about those same issues in this age where Trump talk dominates the airwaves from a male/female perspective.”
Huddy remarked, “I’m genuinely so excited to host alongside Curtis. We’ve become more than colleagues over the years; we’re friends. Going to work with this NYC icon every day — honestly we have so much fun, so many laughs, that I feel guilty getting paid. Not that guilty. And the best thing — he can’t tease me about being married so many times because, well…”
